is easy to learn and use. Particularly important is device- 
independence in area of graphics, printers and plotters. As 
GeoSET is the system dedicated especially for photogrammetry 
and geodesy, it provides tools to produce digital maps 
emphatically faster, better and cheaper than commercial CAD 
software. 
GeoSET provides a range set of tools to make maps fast and 
conveniently: menu bar and pull-down menus, toolbar, palettes, 
matrix menus, button menus, keyboard menu, Dialog boxes, 
movable-resizable views, etc. 
The results of mapping in GeoSET are ASCII files with coded 
geometrical information. The vector drawing on the screen or 
plotter is only interpretation of geometrical data base. You can 
produce various vector maps based on the same geometrical 
data be linking various symbol libraries. 
To illustrate coded cartographic objects on the map you have to 
avail a set of drawing tools. They are polygons composed of 
lines, curves and arcs, signatures, spot heights, annotations, 
area symbols. 
Objects of particular types, their codes and graphical 
illustration are to be taken from palettes with symbols.

There are also functions for correction of elaborated map, 
functions for inquiring about geometrical relations and many 
others. 
GeoSET can be used as software for computer assisted digital 
mapping with use of analog stereo-plotters. It will be possible 
to connect GeoSET to any analytical stereo-plotter. 
To produce vector numerical maps in GeoSET, geometrical 
data may come from various sources, that is field surveys, raster 
images, old maps via digitizing, etc. 
Presented conception provides possibilities of presenting the 
vector and raster images together. Therefore GeoSET may be 
used for presentation of the vector information on background 
of digital orthophoto-maps. It is also possible to place images 
and photographs on the map. 
To produce hard-copies of digital maps you can use any vector 
or raster plotters, color or black laser or ink jet printers or even 
matrix printers. Software does pagination of drawing if plotted 
area cannot fit on plotter page. Before plotting operator can see 
expected effects be use of “preview” function. GeoSET gives . 
full flexibility in assignment plotted lines’ width and colors to 
objects of digital map to produce high-quality maps. If raster
